A contract hiring partner you can rely on
Contract hiring works best when it's done with care, finding people who can integrate quickly, understand the work and add value right away. We support organizations navigating immediate hiring needs while maintaining quality and long-term alignment.
Pre-screened, ready to contribute. Candidates are rigorously validated before presentation, with close to three submitted for every hire and a replacement rate under 2%.
Specialized expertise on demand. Project-based work, system implementations, digital transformation and business-critical initiatives. We connect you with the right skill sets in IT, finance, admin, HR and professional services.
Flexible support that scales with you. Contracts can span weeks, months or longer, and we adapt as your needs evolve, including the option to extend, end or transition to a permanent hire.
Responsive, relationship-driven service. You'll work with a dedicated recruiter who keeps communication proactive and timelines realistic.
Full payroll and contract logistics support. We handle onboarding, payroll, insurance and compliance, with pass-through contractor services and flexible payment terms available.
Contract-to-permanent pathways. When a contract hire proves to be the right long-term move, we support a seamless transition. No awkward renegotiations.
A diverse, qualified talent pool. Altis is a certified diverse supplier, actively countering unconscious bias in sourcing and screening.

Your Strategic Partner in Talent Acquisition
Why you’ll love working with us
- We aren’t just a partner; we’re an extension of your business and brand. We act as your external HR department, supporting you from the initial role design to hiring and beyond. And we don’t stop searching and vetting candidates until you’re satisfied with your new hire.
- We’re consultative, sharing what we learn through our candidates, along with the latest trends in your industry.
- We adapt as your contract needs evolve. Whether you need coverage for a few weeks or support for an extended engagement, we can help. And when a contract hire proves to be the right long-term move, we support converting them to a permanent role, with payroll services along the way.
- We’re communicative, keeping you informed as our search progresses and advising you on how best to position your role to attract top candidates.
- We put our whole team behind you, and our extensive network of 1,000,000+ candidates too. In fact, we find many of our placements through referrals because, as they say, good people know good people.
- We work onshore, in Canada. Altis is 100% Canadian owned and operated, so you're working with a team that knows your market.
- We go beyond the resumé, looking for unique attributes in each candidate, presenting only our top choices and explaining in detail why we selected each one.
We validate our candidates
Since many of today’s candidates use ChatGPT and other AI applications to write their resumés and cover letters, it can be hard to tell if someone’s the real deal. Rest assured, we take the time to validate skills and experience and verify that each candidate is what they claim to be.
- We interview every candidate face to face (either in person or over video).
- We go beyond the standard interview, assessing on-the-spot thinking by asking unique questions that we co-develop with you—things not covered in the job ad.
- We verify all credentials, including designations, education and more.
- We provide testing and screening on request, including in-depth technical and competency-based screening assessments.
- We conduct a range of checks when appropriate, using a third party to do background, criminal and credit checks.
- We check references prior to all employment offers.
We balance speed with quality
Sometimes our clients need to move quickly, and we’ll meet them where they are.
However, while we work faster than others in our industry, we never sacrifice quality for speed. We always conduct a full search and validate each candidate before submitting our shortlist.
In a rush? These factors impact the speed of our search:
- The job title and technologies in use
- Total compensation, including salary, vacation, benefits
- Work model (remote/hybrid/onsite)
- Years of experience required in specific sectors/industries
We strive to meet the following timelines:
- Administrative roles:
- Acknowledgement of Requests: Within 2 hours
- Resumes provided: 1-3 business days
- Same-day requirement: Candidate located within 1 hour
- Specialist roles:
- Acknowledgement of Requests: Within 2 hours
- Resumes provided: 2-5 business days
- Same-day requirement: We'll collaborate to meet shorter timelines as needed
Note: For unique roles that require extensive searching and tapping our referral network, the timeline may be longer. We communicate with you at every step and share the results of our search as we progress.
